Anyone ever build one of these?I was bored so I slapped one together. It won't work with the 150k resistor from Q1's base to ground no matter what value I tried.Anyway, I have a test box for trying new circuits I can wire it up to and try it when I get home.

I tried it out and with the correct Q2 and it works with the Q1 base resistor.Not that I'll ever use this thing, I've got like a dozen little boards lying around of different fuzzes I've built for the heck of it.If they sound great, then they get put into a pedal.

It seems so.Q2 should be a PNP with the collector grounded.With an NPN in Q2 spot it won't work with the 150k resistor from Q1's base to ground.It works without the 150K, but the waveform is quite different from the correct version.I haven't tried them out to see what they sound like yet, who knows...maybe the "wrong" version might sound better.

It can get very ratty and nasty sounding - it's borderline distortion with the clipping diodes. It's a lot of fun (if you're into the Stooges kind of thing, you should like it a lot). You get weird oscillation with the attack knob (or whatever it's called) dialed fully one way.

Wow, I think this one's a keeper!I built AG's, so far just an output pot, with run of the mill 2n3904's.it cleans up pretty good when the guitar volume is rolled back and produces some great nasty distortion when cranked with nice overtones and bloomage!
